Stellatin (4), isolated from Dysophylla stellata is a cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor. The present study reports the synthesis and biological evaluation of new stellatin derivatives for COX-1, COX-2 inhibitory and anti-inflammatory activities. Eight deriva

Hydroxychroniones and B-ring-substituted 5,6,7-trihydroxyflavones were prepared to evaluate the contribution of the B ring of baicalein (5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone, 1) to its potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Hydroxychromones, which lack 6-hydroxyl substitution, did not show any inhibitory activity, while 5,6,7-trihydroxy-2-methylchromone (5) showed high activity. Among the tested B-ring-substituted 5,6,7-trihydroxyflavones, the 4′-hydroxy-, 3′,4′-dihydroxy-, and 3′,4′,5′- trihydroxy-substituted derivatives were found to give more activity than that of 1. The methoxy-substituted derivatives, however, showed less activity than 1. The results suggest that the B ring of 1 was not essential, although advantageous to the activity; hydroxyl substitution on the B ring of 5,6,7-trihydroxyflavones was favorable to the activity, whereas methoxyl substitution was unfavorable; at least 4′-hydrosyl substitution of 5,6,7-trihydroxyflavones was required for enhanced activity, in which the number of hydroxyl groups did not take part.
